Chapter 124: Being too sought-after is also a big trouble
Xie Lang walked a little slowly.
He seemed to be careless, but he seemed to be looking at Ji Ji all the time.
The current Ji Ji is something that Xie Lang has never seen before. Her face is already in full bloom, just like the moon season blooming next to the spring in the dark night, which is extremely beautiful.
Speaking of which, although there are many beauties in Jiankang, there are not many who are really beautiful to the level of Ji Ji. Her skin is white and flawless, her figure is slender and graceful, and her whole person is beautiful from her hair to the tips of her fingers. But the most beautiful thing about her is her eyes.
It was a pair of phoenix eyes that seemed to hide too much melancholy, but they were hooked.
Wherever Xie Lang went, he was the focus of the crowd's attention, but at this moment, except for those women, all Lang Jun had actually been quietly looking at Ji Ji.
In particular, she is obviously healthy, but she wants to pretend to be sick and weak, but when she is always looking down in anticipation, the trace of cunning in her expression makes her even more vivid.
Although he walked slowly, Xie Lang still walked in front of Ji Ji.
At this time, Ji Ji was bending over and pretending to cough, her face was flushed, and her quietly wandering gaze was even more watery.
Suddenly, Xie Lang's chest tightened.
He stopped in front of her.
After quietly looking at Ji Ji, who was coughing in disbelief, Xie Lang took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the corner of Ji Ji's lips, and at the same time, his gentle voice came, "Wipe it." ”
Just as the handkerchief was handed to her, Ji Ji suddenly stiffened. She looked down at the handkerchief motionlessly, and then Ji Ji slowly looked up. Slowly looked at Xie Lang.
Just after a glance, Ji Ji put away all the superfluous expressions on her face, she didn't take the handkerchief he handed over, but pretended not to see it, turned around and walked towards Xiao Daocheng, "Ah Dao, it's too stuffy here, let's go outside with my sister." With that, Ji Ji took Xiao Daocheng's hand and walked out of the wooden door.
After Xie Lang, who was left out in the cold, smiled, he withdrew his hand nonchalantly. He blinked an eye. But he met the scrutinizing gaze of Old Madam Xiao.
Present. Xie Lang saluted towards Old Madam Xiao gracefully: "Chen Jun Xie Eighteen, I have seen Old Madam Xiao. ”
Chenjun Xie's gate valve is not comparable to the Lanling Xiao family. Xie Lang saluted, and Mrs. Xiao was busy holding her hands.
It's rare to see Xie Lang. Old Madam Xiao didn't know how. It seems that there is a lot of talk. After sending away the juniors around her, she turned her head to see Xie Lang who was like a glow in the morning light, and secretly envied her. After gossiping and recounting some of their past friendships, Old Madam Xiao looked at Xie Lang and said gossipingly: "Speaking of which, the daughter of the Ji family is really related to our Lanling Xiao family, my grandson, but she has been raised by her for many years and has always been raised as a brother. ”
Speaking of this, Old Madam Xiao sighed, "They have a deep sister-brother relationship, and after dealing with the Ji family girl this time, I also think that she is very amiable." I remember that my grandson Xiao Yi has a very good impression of her, but I don't know, does a family like my Lanling Xiao family have the fate to marry a daughter-in-law like Ji's? Although, she is older, and her reputation is a little hindered, but let Yi'er marry her as a flat wife, I think that Ji Dalang and my Yi'er should be satisfied......"
Xie Lang never expected that this old lady Xiao was so attentive, but it was to probe her own style!
At this time, Mrs. Xiao was indeed exploring Xie Lang's tone. The current Ji clan can be described as a quasi-clan clan, although she is still a little far from a clan like the Lanling Xiao clan, but she must marry, but no one will stop her. What's more, Old Madam Xiao's meaning is to let Ji Ji marry Xiao Yi's flat wife.
Although the matter of flat wives is not popular in this era, it is not uncommon. Since the Western Jin Dynasty and the Eastern Jin Dynasty, because of the perennial wars or clan migrations, there are often cases where the wife of a certain family is lost on the way to the south. Then, for the sake of the heirs, it is impossible for the son of the family to stop marrying after settling in the south. And after marrying a wife, if the original wife's room returns, it will adopt the two-wife system, which is the saying of a regular wife and an equal wife.
And for such a thing, the reason why Mrs. Xiao asked Xie Lang was because Ji Ji used to be the person Xie Lang liked. For a long time, since that marriage change, Ji Ji has become unpopular, and that is because everyone is still taboo Xie Lang and still takes Xie Lang's thoughts into account. Before Xie Lang clearly announced that Ji Ji could marry freely, ordinary families and individuals would not risk offending the Chen Jun Xie family and offending Xie Eighteen to get close to Ji Ji.
And now, more than half a year has passed since that incident. In the past half a year, Xie Lang and Ji's daughter have never had anything to do with each other again, and they see that Ji's daughter is still a virgin. So Mrs. Xiao, who felt sorry for her grandson and also wanted to have a good relationship with Ji Dalang, took advantage of this rare opportunity to ask Xie Lang for a good time.
Old Madam Xiao's words were something Xie Lang didn't expect, and for a while, he was speechless.
After a while, seeing that the old lady and several maidservants were all looking at the silent self in surprise, Xie Lang saluted the old lady Xiao, casually found an excuse, and retreated without talking about her question.
When Xie Lang walked out of the wing, it was sunny outside, and the monks who had just driven away the bandits, and the troops of the Lanling Xiao clan were busy cleaning up. In the courtyard not far away, Ji Ji's sister and brother were surrounded by a group of big and small Langjun.
Seeing Xie Lang come out, Xie Guang and others, who had already dealt with their tails, greeted them. After glancing at his own Langjun's gaze, Xie Guang said softly: "The people of the Xiao family and the senior monks of Wushan Temple are all in the love of Aunt Ji. It was according to Ji Xiaogudi's arrangement that they collected firewood overnight and lit fires on three sides of the temple at the same time before dawn. The flames that rushed to the sky, firstly, warned us so that Langjun could rush to the rescue, and secondly, it also made those bandits mess up, they thought that something was going to happen, and they attacked in advance in panic. After discovering that the only courtyard that did not catch fire was full of beauties, the bandits were confused and fell into the trap that Aunt Ji had prepared a long time ago. ”
After a slight pause, Xie Guang said again: "The Xiao clan's troops and monks have a total of three hundred, and they were originally invincible to five hundred bandits, but after Aunt Ji's arrangement, the bandits lost three hundred on the spot. There were less than two hundred bandits left. Even if we don't come, these people can handle it. ”
Speaking of this, Xie Guang glanced at Xie Lang and said, "Aunt Ji is extremely intelligent, no wonder it only took more than half a year to become an important minister valued by His Majesty." ”
Ji Ji and Ji Yue are the same person, in fact, they told Xie Lang as early as when Ji Ji set off from Jing County to Jiankang. At that time, Ji Ji made a few requests to Xie Lang, and those requests were in the middle of the request. Except for one that seeks refuge in Xie Lang. On the other hand, she told him plainly that when she arrived in Jiankang, she might walk as her brother. Please also ask Xie Lang to keep this matter confidential.
So. Xie Lang and Xie Guang and others. It's the person who knew that Ji Ji was Ji Ji early on. However, they have always kept their promise at the time and have never divulged it to anyone.
When Xie Guang chattered non-stop. Xie Lang stood there, his hands behind his back, and quietly looked at Ji Ji, who was surrounded by Lang Jun.
From such a distance, from so many heads, he couldn't see Ji Ji's expression, and he couldn't hear her voice.
It's just that from the eagerness and can't help but please those gentlemen, he can feel that she must be gentle at this time, perhaps, she is still pretending to be so weak, so that more people will look at her with pity.
At this time, the sun was just right, and the warm sunlight shone on everyone's faces, making them all bright and happy.
At this time, Xie Lang heard Ji Ji's laughter.
The laughter was brisk, the brisk he hadn't seen in a long time.
Unconsciously, Xie Lang stepped forward.
When he passed the forest path not far from Ji Ji, his footsteps paused slightly, turned his head sideways, he looked at the beautiful and quiet little face reflected in the bright and extinguished sun, and suddenly, Xie Lang felt the chest tightness that was a little strange, but it was not the first time.
But in the blink of an eye, Xie Lang walked forward.
When Xie Lang walked out of the mountain gate, all the Xie clans had already gathered and followed him.
In the blink of an eye, Xie Lang walked out of the mountain road.
The donkey cart carrying Xie Lang drove along the official road towards the outside of the city.
I don't know how long it took, Xie Lang's soft voice came from the donkey cart, "Ah Guang." ”
"Yes."
"Let out the rumors and let those clans know that the daughter of the Ji family still has a connection with Xie Eighteen, and let them die the heart that wants to marry the daughter of the Ji family!"
Xie Lang's order had to be said to be beyond everyone's expectations, for a while, Xie Guang, Xie Jing, Xie Cai and the others looked at each other, and after a while, Xie Guangcai leaned over and whispered: "Lang Jun, why don't you let go?" ”
I don't know how long it took, in the donkey cart, Xie Lang's dark and soft voice came, "Give me a little more time, give me a little more time......
……
Such a big thing happened, everyone was exhausted, and after having breakfast in the temple, Ji Ji and Lanling Xiao went on the way back to the city one after another.
The donkey cart drove for a while, and when it came to a fork near Jiankang, Ji Ji found that the fork was very lively.
There came a long dragon of people and donkeys. These are not a team, though. Some of them dressed up as business travelers, and some were obviously solo travelers, with five or six hundred people, making the entire official road very lively.
In the blink of an eye, Ji Ji and his party also became part of this excitement.
The matter of Wushan Temple is quite exhausting, and Ji Ji is closing her eyes in the donkey cart at this time. Just then, she heard a cheer outside.
Ji Ji didn't care about it at first, until a sentence came into her ears, "Sister, that Qingyao County Lord is hateful, she hasn't made a marriage contract with Ji Dalang, and now it's like this, it's really disgusting to watch!" ”
Lord Qingyao? Where did this county lord come from? Also, what that person said was that the county lord of Qingyao made a marriage contract with Ji Dalang? Why didn't she know anything about such a heavy thing?
Just as Ji Ji sat down with a sigh and listened attentively, a woman's gentle voice came from outside, "What are you anxious about?" Don't you also know that she hasn't made a marriage contract with Ji Dalang yet? Although she, the daughter of a distant branch of the clan, is the first county lord to be crowned this time, and she is the first to be summoned by the queen's mother, this does not mean that she can marry Ji Dalang. ”
"But they all say so......"
"That's what they are saying, in short, it's useless for you to be in a hurry, Ji Dalang is beautiful, and he is a person with magical powers, even if His Majesty wants to marry him, he will not completely ignore his feelings." After a while, the elder sister said very gently and gently: "Although you and I are not the daughters of the clan, our mothers are also from the clan. This time, the queen called us all to Jiankang, which means that we all have a chance. Now the most important thing is that you can't mess with yourself. ”
Listen, Ji Ji is already dumbfounded!
She thought blankly: Listening to the tone of the two sisters, the queen summoned a lot of sisters-in-law with great fanfare for my marriage?
At the beginning, Ji Ji was still a little funny, and felt that the conversation outside was really inexplicable. But in a blink of an eye, Ji Ji was stunned. She suddenly discovered that her unprecedented talent stood in the position of His Majesty, which had to be controlled in the palm of her hand no matter what. And now, several adult princesses in the palace have made promises, and the emperor wants to select some excellent sisters-in-law from the clan girls or the side branches of the imperial family to cultivate them, and then use them to envelop or control young talents like himself, which is completely possible!
The more I thought about it, the more awe-inspiring Ji became. In the blink of an eye, she thought of the two terrible and vulgar princesses she had seen, which could make the concubine who married them deeply understand what it meant to be worse than death, and for a while, she was drenched in a cold sweat.
Then, she reacted again, that is, these clan girls are not so terrible, she can't marry, she is a woman!
So, along the way, Ji Ji spent almost all of her time with a sad face.
……
Chenjun Xie.
Seeing from a distance the noble lady with a smile on her face, respectfully and respectfully in front of the Xie Wang family, but smiling happily, Xie Twenty-nine asked in surprise: "Isn't that the mother of the Lanling Xiao family?" What did she do when she came to Aunt Three? ”
The one who answered Xie Twenty-nine was a steward, and the steward lowered his head and said respectfully: "Back to Twenty-Nine Lang, I heard that Xiao Yi took a fancy to Ji's daughter and wanted to ask her to be a flat wife, and Xiao Yi's mother came to explore the third lady's oral style. ”
Speaking of this, the steward laughed again, and he said nonchalantly: "I heard that Xiao Yi's own grandmother, Mrs. Xiao, originally disagreed. However, the old lady Xiao is repaying her vows in Wushan Temple, Xiao Yi's mother may have seen that her son was finally sincere to a sister-in-law, right? So I came behind my mother-in-law to ask. ”
Xie Twenty-nine didn't have the heart to know how the stewards knew so much about these things. He stood there in a daze, but his mind turned to that day, that day, the eighteenth brother tricked the Ji girl into the boat and prepared to go to Xiangyang, and then, that night, he was still there pretending to be sick and deceiving the Ji girl......
Thinking about it, Xie Twenty-nine sighed secretly and asked, "What about the third aunt?" ”
The steward replied: "The third lady can't ask for it. Just now, the third lady was still telling the maids that it was best for the Ji girl to marry this year, and only in this way could the future troubles be avoided. ”
Xie Twenty-nine heard this, but he didn't want to hear it anymore, he flicked his sleeves and said lightly: "Okay, let's go." ”
